Read articles from this Special Issue, which focuses on early-career scientists across the globe who are combining an ever-diversifying set of skills and backgrounds to tackle problems of biochemical relevance.
In an insightful article published in Biochemistry in 1987, Nobel Prize winner Arthur Kornberg noted, “Increasingly, young professors in chemistry departments are pursuing problems of biologic significance.” The unique synergy between chemistry and biology has become increasingly apparent and multidimensional over the past 30 years and will continue to grow and deepen as chemists and biologists set their sights on increasingly complex problems.
In that spirit, Biochemistry dedicated a month-long 4-part Special Issue to the “Future of Biochemistry.” The issue focuses on early-career scientists across the globe who are combining an ever-diversifying set of skills and backgrounds to tackle problems of biochemical relevance. This issue celebrates their work and provides a forum to communicate their ideas, visions, and passions, focusing on the discoveries on the horizon.
